Roy-ADRES Seminar - Dec 2nd, 2024

*This seminar takes place at PSE (Jourdan Campus) in Room R1-09*

Paul Heidhues is Professor of Behavioral and Competition Economics at the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (D.I.C.E.) of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. He is also a Distinguished Affiliate Professor at 
the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT), Berlin.  He is an Elected Member of the Verein für Socialpolitik, a Member of the Econometric Society, and of the American Economic Association. He is also a Research Affiliate of the Digital Economy Project at the Tobin Center for Economic Policy, a CESifo Fellow and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). He is a Member of the Executive Committe of the European Association for Research in Industrial Economics (EARIE) and a member of the European Advisory Group on Competition Policy. Among his editorial duties he is Associate Editor of the Journal of Economic Theory and an Advisory Editor of Games and Economic Behavior.

His latest research focuses on the functioning of markets when consumers are partly driven by psychological factors – such as social preferences, loss aversion, time-inconsistency, or naiveté – that the classical consumer model abstracts from. He is currently involved in three major research projects funded by the DFG: he is the Spokesperson for the DFG Research Group on Consumer Preferences, Consumer Mistakes, and Firms’ Response and a Principal Investigator, with Andreas Grunewald, for the DFG Research Group project on Firms’ Response to Directed Attention Allocation and for the DFG Research Group project on Consumer Inertia and Regulatory Response.
